IAMP begins metal powder production at new VIGA facility in India
Inland Atomize Metal Powder LLP (IAMP), based in Vadodara, Gujarat, India, has begun production of metal powders at its new manufacturing facility. Once fully operational, IAMP expects to produce up to 700 metric tonnes of metal powder annually.
The company uses Vacuum Induction Gas Atomisation (VIGA) and a hydrometallurgy process to produce a wide range of metal powders. Its powder is reported to be suitable for Additive Manufacturing, Powder Metallurgy, Metal Injection Molding (MIM), Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) and other advanced powder-based technologies.
Its VIGA process enables precise control over particle morphology, size distribution, and chemical composition. It is used to produce IAMP’s stainless steel, nickel, tool steel, tin, pre-alloyed and copper alloy powders. Hydrometallurgy is also used to process nickel, cobalt and tungsten.

IAMP’s equipment portfolio includes a VIGA 200, a hydrogen reduction furnace, a nitrogen system, a vibrating screen (sieving machine), a blending machine, an attritor, and a pulveriser machine. The company’s quality control is undertaken via atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS), particle size distribution (PSD) by laser diffraction, and Fisher sub-size sieve analysis (FSSS).
“At Inland Atomize Metal Powder LLP, our mission is to combine metallurgical expertise with cutting-edge atomisation to deliver powders that exceed expectations – ensuring quality assurance, sustainable practices, and unwavering customer trust,“ the company stated.
